Böker - Scout Cronidur -> Böker - Scout Cronidur

The Böker Scout has been closely associated with our name since 1985. Whether anyone back then would have expected that the pocket knife would become one of the most successful and popular knives in our range, no one can say for sure today. But these many years are definitely a special feature in times of short-lived fashion trends, which are not uncommon even in the knife market

The variants of the Scout were probably as numerous during this time as hardly any other model, however, the key data was never changed. The extremely stable body made of a single piece of nickel silver is manufactured using the sintering process and then polished. During sintering, the raw materials are mixed, bonded together through heating, and shaped into the desired form

The hollow-ground blade is made of Cronidur 30 and, with its distinctive shape, contributes to the unique appearance of the Scout. The nitrogen-alloyed blade steel, which is even used in the NASA Space Shuttle, makes this masterpiece a real high-flyer. Outstanding corrosion resistance and extreme edge retention characterize the steel used by Böker as the first manufacturer exclusively in the sports and hunting knife sector. A classic backlock takes over the locking and keeps the blade securely open

The mechanism hidden inside the handle consists of a bolt rocker and a spring. When the blade is unfolded, the bolt lever engages with a recess in the blade and locks it in place. The rear end of the bolt lever is not completely covered by the handle, but is partially exposed on the back of the handle so that it can be operated. When the exposed rear end of the bolt lever is pressed, the hook lifts out of the notch, releasing the lock so that the blade can be folded in. The pleasantly shaped handle scales made of exquisite, certified imported grenadilla wood complete the harmonious image of this classic
